We're Still Here; Indigenous Peoples' Day Webinar

For the first time ever the Sioux Y hosted an event nationwide for the general public. We had Native Presenters from across the county, discussing topics of equity, growing up as a Native in diverse settings, what it means to be Native, and the hardships and realities Natives face each day.

Pledge your support for Indigenous Peoples' Day

At the end of the zoom conference call, there was a call to action. There has been a pledge sent out to all the participants, and it was shared among our network. We are asking to get as many pledges signed by Thanksgiving. Pledge your support by clicking the button below.

Land Acknowledgment Challenge

Where is your property located? Who was there first? We are challenging YOU to utilize the templet below and post it in a viable spot. This is the first step of recognizing and honoring the people who were living on the land prior to our western views of ownership. Let's see how many people can get this form in their entrances, windows, or get creative and in a visible spot. We are challenging you to get the Land Acknowledgement dedication up by Thanksgiving. Please let us know when you do and we will add you to the map of people and organizations that are supporting this effort!

Honoring Ceremony - Thanking YOU for your Support to the Sioux Y

​

As we reflect on the generosity of the people around the world who keep our small Y, in the middle of the plains, thriving we want to express our gratitude. As a token of appreciation join us as we say 'thank you' virtually with the help of a local Lakota Drum Group.
